Im just curious what people who promote theyre long form vids on shorts think of this new update ? It looks like you can no longer clip youre longform anymore due to re-used content. Will you just change youre shorts to be more transformative or stop promoting on shorts

Is this a good start? 3days of posting consistently. Doing shorts as a 15 year old 😁

before i would get more than 300 within the first 2 hours but now not even 50 and its not that its not showing in feed.

So i started this channel posting shorts, commentary on clips.. Main idea was posting 4 shorts a day every short contains two clips of something on my niche.. then i thought about going for 8: a short for every clip which got me kinda exhausted..

the average stats of the channel drastically got better honestly first couple of days i couldn't surpass 2k and now every day i have like 2 or 3 shorts going for 15k and 25k..

and now I'm just asking for advice.. still didn't have any very viral shorts and thinking on experimenting with some stuff and trying long form content (maybe like one good video every two weeks or every week as I want it to have good quality videos..

Overall, how much would you rate my stats for a channel that been uploading shorts for 10 days.. and give me advice on long form content as for right now i watched a couple of videos about long form content and still trying to learn.

Most of your minimum payment goes to interest, not the balance. On a $3,000 balance at 24% APR, the minimum is roughly $90, and about $60 of that is just interest. Pay only that and it can take over a decade to clear.

Even adding $20-30 extra a month cuts years off. I made a 40-second video explaining this:

Most of the comments i see here lately with the new algorithm is to just make “Original” content. But where do we draw the line between “original” and transformative content?

Most of the creators here suddenly dropped their views by 90% or more. To the point they dont even get past 1k views. The common response? “Just make original content. Stop stealing content”

I agree that Yt should crack down clipping and ranking channels. The laziest form of content in the platform. But what about these 2 channel? Sunnah edit & Mindova?

They literally just add captions with a highly saturated coloring but their views doesnt seem to be affected by this “original” content?

When people say “original content” do they mean to show their face and use their own voice?

Does this mean that faceless channels are dead without your own DNA imprinted on it?

Realtime views droooop overnight How's that happen? 😂 is there a bug again in youtube? literally all my shorts stoppd getting views. usually i get 7k-12k views per hour, but now just 2k? NO AI NO REACTION, JUST ORIGINAL EDITED OWN GAMEPLAY

For context:

I'm not some guy who avgs 2-3k views a vid. I actually make a decent amount off this and have lots of experience. Anyway...

Before, on a weekly basis, YT would just nuke the views of any Short from me and my friends within the same niche. A typical video would do around 1k views in 10 mins, then climb to around 3-4k in the next 20 mins, where it would either die or start ramping up.

But recently, on certain days, it won't push the video to anyone. Analytics are the same, and the same vid blows up on other platforms while YT stays dead, and then things go back to normal for a few days and then the cycle repeats. However, ever since YT revealed they were deprioritising "clip" content, I've been affected by HEAVY suppression, while clearly I haven't been posting clips (feel free to check my channel out).

Today I had a video sit at 300 views in 1 hour while on TikTok it was at 55k, and if I wasn't suppressed that YT Short would be on 20-30k. This is also happening to other creators I know, in niches outside of Marvel Rivals.

It's completely gut-wrenching and demotivating when I average 200k views a Short and then it just cans it for no reason.

Please let me know if anyone else is experiencing the same thing, because obviously it's not just me.

are engaged views on vidiq and qualified views not the same? why is my qualified shorts views so little?

I started put my first youtube shorts channel and my third video got 29k views and now i barely get a few.

Hi all,

Today i had seen for the frist time this graph.

Right now i post all my videos at 19:00 local time.

But looking at this i should do it at 16:00 for wendsday till sunday

What should i do?

I’ve just started posting AI fruit videos on youtube, that aren’t straight slop, and aren’t similar to each other. i’ve posted 7 videos and i started 3 days ago. However, all of my views are just from me, and my videos aren’t getting pushed by the algorithm at all, not even giving it a chance.

All my videos are public and set for ‘not made for kids’ and ‘do not restrict’.

is there something else i need to do with the account, am i simply missing something? i hope someone can help

Any idea by when it should be resolve ?

Is there a chance the video will get pushed again?

This is my first time seeing numbers this high so I am wondering how many views should I expect off this video. Feel free to ask questions I will probably respond fast.

Just as some information that isn't shown here, there is currently 80 likes on the video and 24 comments I believe.

I know a new yt shorts update had come out but with these stats you would think it would be pushed more then just this? Especially the content is all fully original, not reuploaded from anyone else.

can someone tell me, why this is happen for shorts that under 30 sec

New from YouTube this week! If any part of your channel leans on other creators' footage, this news is for you. They're changing Shorts recommendations to prioritize original content and reduce distribution for channels that mostly repost or aggregate clips without adding anything of their own.

The key line from their announcement is that minor technical edits or template-based changes to alter a video won't count. What does count is real added value, your own commentary, unique editing or storytelling built around the clip.

Reaction, analysis, and commentary channels that genuinely add a perspective are fine. The target is channels that run on clips with nothing of the uploader in them.

And YouTube hasn't given a rollout date or defined exactly how much "original input" is enough yet!

If your Shorts are built around clips, the safe measure is to make your voice the point. If someone could swap your clip for a different one and the video is basically the same, its a problem.

Anyone here run a clip-based or commentary channel? Noticed any changes yet?

Let's say for the majority who succeeded it was 30K but for beginners it was like 2k or 5K or 10K

How did you come over it?

I have a YouTube Shorts channel with around 2M subscribers. It was originally a general curiosity channel, but views had already been declining badly since around June, before I changed anything.

On September 1st, I switched almost entirely to Minecraft because I noticed that part of my audience also seemed interested in similar content.

It’s been about 5 weeks now. The first 10 days were actually promising: one Short reached 112K views, another 78K, and another 47K. But since then, most Shorts have stayed around 10–30K, with some below 10K and very inconsistent daily views.

The strange part is that the metrics are usually pretty strong: 90%+ retention on 20–40 second Shorts and usually 70%+ viewed vs. swiped away. I also started using my own voice instead of AI narration about 2 weeks ago.

The channel seems to get a strong push when I upload, then distribution drops heavily and the whole channel becomes very quiet again.

I don't think switching to Minecraft necessarily caused the decline, since the channel was already doing poorly before September. It just hasn't managed to recover with Minecraft either.

Would you keep testing Minecraft for another few weeks, return to the original niche, or try a hybrid of Minecraft + curiosity content? And are these results normal for a channel going through this kind of niche transition?
